If my the first time at la palapa was great, the second time was just perfect. I left as a pampered guest, and  I came back as welcomed as a family member. I have been received by  the all "Palapa" crew with incredible warmth and kindness. Vincente and Chrystel at the reception went out of their way to organize my... More

The hotel was wonderful. Great location - lots of shade and places to sit and read on the beach. Great chef in the restaurant. The island is very quiet and peaceful - great place to hide and get away from it all. Room were nice but only a few have kitchen facilities so make sure you ask before you book. More

I cannot say enough about the staff at this hotel. From the reservation agent (Eber) to all of the maintenance staff (Sr. Coco AKA Eduardo), service was exceptional. The concierge (Chrystel) was so patient with me, answering question after question over email for months before our arrival. Great location, clean and comfortable rooms, excellent restaurant on the premises. Even with... More

I simply cannot express how very much I loved my experience on Holbox, and for that matter, the whole of the Yucatan. The hotel, however, was something else entirely, elevated to superlative status. The staff---especially Chrystel--were so helpful that I still feel as though I can never repay their kindness. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The Casa Nostra restaurant--namely... More

Excellent location very close to the ocean. Rooms are clean and service is nice. Lovely with the hammocks on the beach between palm trees. Nice sun beds but unfortunetly no cusions making it too hard. Also, we would prefer to have refridgerators on the room. Overall very nice and highly recommended. More

We were on Isla Holbox from Feb. 15 to Feb 20th. We stayed at La Palapa for the second time. We were very happy! The room was clean and made up everyday. The shower was delightful and the A.C. worked great. Grounds were cleaned daily and they had a number of new beach chairs and pads!!! The restaurant was awesome... More
